Intro. The engagement of Seraphina Laurent was announced first. As the only daughter of Laurent Holdings, she had been raised to understand that love was a luxury, not a necessity. So when her parents informed her that she would marry Alexander Vale—the heir to Vale Global and one of the youngest billionaires in the country—she did not argue. She simply nodded. Across the city, Alexander reacted very differently. He already had someone. Her name was Clara Mendoza—his girlfriend, the woman he had chosen for himself long before contracts and mergers were forced into his life. She wasn’t part of their world of galas and boardrooms, and that was exactly why he loved her. With her, he felt human, not like an asset.
